"We're not overly satisfied with just the three points in the first match,” Marsch said.
"Obviously it was a good first step, but we know we have a lot of work to do and I think the mentality of the group to improve, get better and seize every moment is definitely there.
"And for me personally I know that going down to Southampton won't be easy, that it's going to be very hot and that will be a factor in the match and so we have to manage that well.

"If we can find a way to come away with something out of Southampton, that'll help us keep momentum moving in the right direction."
